T&T s Red Steel
will join the party
today when they play
their first match of
the 2014 Caribbean
Premier League (CPL)
T20 tournament against the Barbados Tridents, from
10.30 am, at the National Cricket Stadium, St
George s, Grenada.
The Red Steel was knocked out at the semi-final
stages of the inaugural tournament last year. When
they exited in front of their home crowd at the Queen s
Park Oval, skipper Dwayne Bravo promised a better
showing this year---and it all starts with today s match.
Bravo, a doubt coming into this tournament, will
take his place at the helm of the team today. According
to manager of the Red Steel, Colin Borde: "Dwayne
had some injury issues coming into the tournament
but today he looked good and will be taking his place
on the team tomorrow.
"Everyone knows just how important his presence
on this team is and he worked very hard to regain
fitness in time for this opening match."
The Red Steel had an early morning workout at the
National Cricket Stadium yesterday morning and all
is reported well in the camp. "The boys are pumped
and ready for action. We will have a team meeting
later tonight and we will then finalise our plan of
attack. At the moment the boys are just itching to get
on the park and do their thing. Team morale is very
high and this is good when you are starting any tour-
nament.
"We are coming up against a tough Tridents team
led by Keiron Pollard but we have a plan for them.
The teams are well balanced and the team that makes
the least mistakes will be the one taking the title. We
need to get out there and play simple, effective cricket
and minimise our errors and we will be okay."
The Trident s team will also include T&T s Rayad
Emrit, Akeal Hosein and Ravi Rampaul, who were all
once a part of the powerful Red Force. Borde continued:
"The players have played together since youth days
and the information they have on one another is price-
less."
The Barbados Tridents made a great start to the
tournament in 2013 but peaked too early and in the
end, they were dumped out of the tournament by
eventual winners Jamaica Tallawahs in the semifinals.
The T&T foreign players are coming into this tour-
nament is good form and this is expected to be key
for the red, white and black says former West Indies
A team manager Borde: "The foreign players especially
Ross Taylor and Kevin O Brien played with us last
year and they understand the set-up. They are coming
into the game with runs under their belts and this is
expected to work in our favour. A winning start is
essential for us and more so given the fact that we
are on the road for our first set of matches."

A 131-run partnership from Guyanese
pair Sherfane Rutherford and Adrian Suk-
wah took the match away from T&T, as
the home team fell to its third consecutive
defeat in the West Indies Cricket Board
Regional Tobago House of Assembly 50-
over Under-17 tournament in Tobago, yes-
terday.
Coming into the round three match yes-
terday at Shaw Park, defending champions
T&T needed a win to keep its chances alive
of retaining the crown after losing to Jamaica
and Barbados. Unfortunately, T&T fell to a
62-run defeat to eliminate its chances of
lifting the title again. After losing Ronaldo
Renee for 16 with the score on 26, Rutherford
and wicket keeper Sukwah took control of
the match. Rutherford was the aggressor,
hitting eight fours and three sixes in his
knock of 79 (81 balls). Sukwah played the
supporting role scoring 56 off 105 balls,
which included five fours. Rutherford was
forced to retire hurt, while Sukwah fell shortly
after with the score on 164. Despite an even
50 from Brandon Maharaj T&T could only
muster 183 all out in 43.2 overs. Tobagonian
Dejourn Charles pitched in with 25. Paul
and Mohamed demonstrated their all-round
ability, taking 3/38 and 3/58 respectively.
Round four bowls off tomorrow.
